Floating Butterflies by Brenda

Good morning Peeps, Brenda here, with some more shares from the samples I made from Lesley's shows using the beautiful new Perfumery stamps she showcased on Hochanda recently which were hugely popular with you all.

So for my top card I started with die cutting an arch aperture in the base card and running some fine jewellery thread down the aperture and fixing it behind the overlay. Onto this I fixed some 'flating Butterflies which I stamped and cut out from the Butterfly Perfumery stamp set. Behind the aperture on the base card I stamped the main image from Floral Perfumery and coloured in with pens and inked around with DI's. Stamped a sentiment to the top left and one of the larger Butterflies decoupaged to the top right of the card.

For this One I repeat stamped the beautiful Butterfly border from Floral Perfumery down the leading edge of a custom cut DL card and cut out around the edges, coloured in and added liquid pearls to the Butterflies thorax's. I stamped an inspirational quote from Artistic Affirmations, another Butterfly, a piece of coordinating DP and ribbons.

I kept this one fairly simple stamping the focal image from Floral Perfumery, colouring in with pens in pastel colours, stamping around the edges with Large Crackle Background and adding a sentiment from the same stamp sheet as the main image.

The background for this one is made using Ecoline inks which seem to be making a comeback, I've had mine for many years since they were popular the first time round so it was nice to give them an airing stamping the image from   Floral Perfumery, bleaching out some of the colour and then adding back in with Distress Markers and some glitter to the bottle top.
